Abstract
Effective conversation is very important in nursing, especially when working with older patients, in order to provide high-quality care. This study wants to fill in important gaps in our knowledge by focusing on the importance of therapeutic conversation through mental nursing care for elderly patients in Saudi Arabia. Building on the study's earlier work, which recognised the many problems caused by differences in language, religion, and culture, this investigation used a careful research method and talked to a large group of senior healthcare workers who acted as experts. A lot of polls and observations are used to look at the different types of therapeutic communication that mental health nurses use. The findings of this empirical study should make a big difference in the field by putting light on the best ways for nurses and older patients to communicate better with each other. Simulation-Based Training was found to be the most practical way in the study. This could have big effects on improving the care given to elderly patients in Saudi Arabia. This study lays the groundwork for big steps forward in healthcare methods, especially in the area of mental health nursing. These steps will eventually help geriatric patients and nurses by building trust, understanding, and better communication.
